FAKE NEWS.

Every news must always appear fake to you since it is not glorifying your master and lord, Buhari. I am too happy that the social media that brought in this shame on us all with the collaboration of 15 million swindled clowns will still be the same nemesis that will send your lord and your lots to Daura in 2019! Fake ko, Folake ni

The fear of rejection is dawning on this man gradually probably that's why his "handlers" are planning another medical trip for him in April in order to kill the reviving Buhari in him and rejuvenate the Jubril in him for more manipulations as usual.

EXCLUSIVE: How President Buhari paid $3m for ‘fake’ Martin Luther King Jr’s leadership award

In what many Nigerians have criticized as an undeserving First Black History Month National Black Excellence and Exceptional African Leadership award conferred on Nigerian president Muhammadu Buhari by Martin Luther King Jr’s family, LeadersNG through a presidency source has learned that the award was handsomely paid for.

According to our presidency source, the award was facilitated by Abike Dabiri-Erewa, the Senior Special Assistant to the president on Foreign Relations & Diaspora through a Ghanaian self acclaimed foreign diplomat, Erieka Bennett.

A quick fact-check on Erieka Bennet revealed that She runs a Non Governmental Organization called, Diaspora African Forum based in Accra, Ghana.

Erieka Bennett calls herself ‘Ambassador At Large’ as she uses her influence to facilitate foreign awards for unsuspecting African leaders.

Erieka Bennett was a former aide to Ghanaian president, John Mahama.

LeadersNG investigations revealed that Dr. Erieka Bennett was contracted by Abike Dabiri-Erewa to help use her NGO to bring Martin Luther King jr’s family to Nigeria to give President Muhammadu Buhari award.

Dr. Erieka Bennett, LeadersNG learned, contacted someone in King’s family, a distant relative of Martin Luther King called Dr. Naomi Barbara after King Center declined earlier request by Bennett to influence an award for a certain African leader.

The award which was paid for by the Nigerian government as part of the ongoing PR stunt to launder president Buhari’s image was not on official portals that was opened strictly to promote the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther king’s assassination.

Our Presidency source said, Buhari only got to know about the award on the day of confinement as he had no pre-knowledge of what Dabiri-Erewa was up to.

However, LeadersNG further learned that $3m was paid for the fake Martin Luther King Jr’s award that was conferred on Nigerian president Muhammadu Buhari.

You would recall that a pro-democracy group, Concerned Nigerians had earlier condemned the award given to president Muhammadu Buhari.

The group in its statement berated the King’s family for awarding Nigerian president a leadership award as it negates the ideals and principles of what America’s foremost civil rights activist stood and died for.

The $3m according to our source, was provided by APC Board of Trustees member, Alhaji Nasir Dano.

The King Centre had through their official Twitter account denied awarding President Muhammadu Buhari.

The centre says “The award given to President Buhari of Nigeria was not given by The King Center, at the request of The King Center or by the children of #MLK and #CorettaScottKing.

izzou:
You put Algeria and Egypt and you're asking if any African country made the list?

The truth is while they could be termed "African Countries" based on their geographical location on the map but in the real sense of it and in reality they see themselves as Middle easterners just like: Morocco, Tunisia, etc

Dino will soon claim he is being shielded and protected by angels but the question now is, which of the angels is he referring to? Holy Angels of God or fallen angels of the devil.

No nation on earth can move forward, experience prosperity under this useless government of APC that prefers to fight its members, witch hunt oppositions and lie to the citizens with impunity.

This government has lost it, thank God 2019 is beckoning and I am loving this.

God bless these ones. Atiku is it!

tuniski:
Clown!
Get some comprehension south is bigger than South East! By the way, the SE had it lowest votes count in 2015 and it cant be any worse come 2019.
Buhari won't get beyond 3% In the SE you can bank it!

Stop wasting your time quoting that clown he is always hopping from one thread to another anytime he sees Atiku! Just watch him and have fun

Atiku is ok for me

QuotaSystem:
Atiku might just be the right man to lead us till 2027 when Duke will take over. Duke must lead this country now or later.

I still love Buhari till 2023 but Atiku/Dankwambo seems a more strategic decision in the long run.

Sai Atiku/Duke 2019 or Dankwambo/Duke 2019.

My guy, thank God you are now Atikulating welcome onboard bro. I love your flexible approach to things.

Atiku In His Own Words;

Below are what Atiku said with his own mouth and you have the right to query or question or probe him on this, you have your conscience intact, so you be the judge yourself;

 “People say I became rich in government. It’s a lie. I had hundreds of millions of dollars in assets declared in 1999. I was able to personally bankroll the Peoples Democratic Party back then, so surely, I was not poor.” (Atiku responding to the allegations that he enriched himself while in office as Vice President)

“I Go Dye, I’m not a messiah. I do not promise Eldorado or $1 = N1, but I always ask that we should look at the economic progress we made under my leadership and what I am doing in private business and judge me by those.”  (Atiku's response to "I Go Dye", a Nigerian popular Comedian, on why he is qualified and a better candidate to become President of Nigeria)

“As VP, I assembled what is arguably the best economic team ever in Nigeria. It was made up of young, world-class professionals, who came home to work. Some of those professionals are now political leaders, governors and world leaders in their own right." (Atiku's influence on the economic development of Nigeria as the Head of the National Economic Council revealed here)

 “I remember the only corruption indictment against me was a white paper which was cooked up by our own administration overnight to including the very EFCC that I helped found and other cabinet ministers, which I challenged in court. The court rightly dismissed all those indictments as being mere political, and till today nobody has ever indicted me of corruption.” (This was his defense against the indictment cooked up against him by Obasanjo and EFCC which is yet to be proved by EFCC till date in any Court of law)

“For example, between 1999 and 2003, oil prices then were hovering between $16 and $28 yet we managed to pay up salary arrears from decades back, clear up our national debts and build up foreign reserves. Our Gross Domestic Product grew at the fastest rate we’ve seen since the return to democracy.” (Despite decades of military  rule, the Obasanjo/Atiku era brought Nigeria out of the woods based on "working economic policies" Atiku helped set up)

 “I regret that I had that disagreement with my boss. Some say I was disloyal, but I looked at the events in Zimbabwe recently, and it gives me confidence that I did the right thing fighting the attempts to elongate the presidential tenure beyond eight years. If I did not win that fight, do you think we would be having a discussion on young people getting into leadership today?” (His stand on why he had to fight the illegal Third Term ambition of his former boss, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, which would have set a bad precedence for future administrations)

“I went to the World Bank and met a bright lady, convinced her to come back home, and she became a star in our government. To show you we had effective leadership, the same lady could not replicate her exploits under a different government,”  (On his discovery of the one and only Madam Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, former, Minister of Finance)

 “In my home state of Adamawa, for example, I’ve created over 50,000 direct jobs and 250,000 indirect ones. We are the largest private employers of labour in the state, only second to the state government. It’s not a lot, but it does help reduce unemployment. Who do you think are holding those jobs? Yes, young people.” (This is Alhaji Atiku's direct and indirect impacts on employments as an individual)

"What is happening in Nigeria is that as a nation, we are caught up in a modern-day Malthusian Trap. For years, our population has been growing faster than our Gross Domestic Product, bringing us to a point where we have an ever-increasing population competing for resources that are not keeping pace with population growth." (Alhaji Atiku's submission on the state of the Nation under Buhari while making his keynote address at the  Silverbird Man of the year 2017 Awards Night)

"It may sound simplistic, but if Nigeria can assemble a leadership focused on getting us out of this Malthusian Trap by gradually reversing the trend where population growth exceeds GDP growth, many of these challenges we are currently facing will slowly but surely fade away." (Atiku's blueprint for the way out of our current surging populations versus our depleting Gross Domestic Products as a Country)

"This month of February 2018, according to the World Poverty Clock, Nigeria has just overtaken India as the world’s capital of extreme poverty. There are more extremely poor people in Nigeria than there are in India, a country that has six times Nigeria’s population." (Alhaji Atiku affirming the grim situation Nigerians found themselves in under the Buhari-led administration)

"After contracting for five consecutive quarters, Nigeria came out of recession in the second quarter of 2017 with a GDP growth rate of 0.55%. In the third quarter, we fared better with 1.40%. While this looks somewhat like we exited the recession, the reality is that when you factor in our population growth rate of 2.3%, which is one of the highest in the world, have we really exited a recession? Technically, yes, but in reality, it is doubtful." (Atiku's humble but concise statistical analysis of the true picture of our economic status as a Country)

“When people do not have jobs and the means to start a business are beyond their reach, they are incrementally much more likely to engage in criminal behaviours like terrorism, kidnapping, militancy and armed robbery." (Atiku bringing to the open a simple reason why violences have taken over Nigeria landscape)

“According to the African Development Bank, in 2017, 18 African countries grew their Gross Domestic Product above 5%. Nigeria, which was number one in 2014, was not amongst these nations. We must figure out what has happened in the intervening years between 2014 and 2018 and fix what went wrong." (This is the height of gross ineptitude on leadership as His Excellency, Alhaji Atiku, gave an expository revelation on how Nigeria fell from the top just within 3 years of APC's leadership)

“What happened to brilliant initiatives like the YouWIN programme which gave Nigerian youths the training and funding to start their own businesses?” (The One Million Dollar Question His Excellency, Alhaji Atiku is asking this rudderless APC's government)

“Let me say this: The Restructuring that I, Atiku Abubakar, envisions, will see no state receive less money from the federation account than it currently does. I hope that will ease the anxieties of some who oppose restructuring. Restructuring will not cheat you. It will free you." (Alhaji Atiku's stance on restructuring)

“When I was in government, we reduced recurrent expenditure by introducing the monetisation policy and by privatising many government enterprises, especially those that were consuming resources without generating revenue. Those policies have been bastardized today and we have seen a ballooning of our recurrent expenditure and shrinkage of our capital expenditure. We must return to the basics.” (Atiku showing the wrong approach of this APC's government in the area of fiscal policies)

“We have to enact laws to prevent leaders from diverting public funds from the public health sector to the treatment of the elite in the best hospitals abroad. If you can afford it from your own private resources, then pay for it. But do not make the tax payer pay for it." (This is Alhaji Atiku demanding that laws should be made to ensure that our leaders are made to pay for their health related issues anytime they seek medical attention abroad and not from public funds)

“We are in critical times, and as I conclude, I want to urge a paradigm shift in Nigeria. Our elite are treated in Europe. Big Brother Naija is being broadcast from South Africa and Nike is unveiling our FIFA World Cup Jersey in London. Is this the extent to which we have outsourced Nigeria? As far as I am concerned, if it concerns Nigeria, it must be done in Nigeria, not abroad. Not abroad.” (Atiku promoting "Made in Nigeria for Nigerians" ideology)

All What Atiku Is Saying Is, "Judge Me On My Track Records In Political And Business Careers And Not On Innuendoes"

Behold, Nigeria's next President!

Respect to you my brother you have really helped that dude a lot on this thread. Too many clowns in here

This is it! Atiku unveiled in grandstyle

Aboki, good morning!

I miss PDP: The economy under Jonathan wasn’t as bad as it is today, says Sanusi
 
Former CBN Governor and member of Ex President Jonathan’s economic team, Emir Sanusi II, has said he refused to be silent over what he considers a clear lack of ideas and policy direction that has left the once robust economy, bleeding.

Sanusi who expressed worries over the manner in which the current administration manages the nation’s economy, said it is unfortunate that the Federal Government seem to have taken over the CBN, instead of allowing it to function independently.

He said, “The CBN-FGN relationship is no longer independent. In fact, one could argue their relationship has become unhealthy,” he said.
The former CBN Governor also revealed that CBN’s lending to the government since Buhari came in had spiked from about N1.5 trillion to over N4.5 trillion.
He said, “CBN claims on the FGN now tops N4.7 trillion — equal to almost 50% of the FGN’s total domestic debt. This is a clear violation of the Central Bank Act of 2007 (Section 38.2) which caps advances to the FGN at 5% of last year’s revenues. Has CBN become the government’s lender of last or first resort?” He questioned.

Speaking further he said, “the problem of the current government is not having the right policies to fix the current economic woes. The past government under which I served as the CBN Governor, had its own problems, but the current government is far from getting it right”.

Honestly speaking these pictures have said it all! Thank God 2019 is just around the corner.

2019: Atiku in 60 seconds as media group launches worldwide campaign

Foremost media group, Inabali Media, this afternoon in Lagos, launched an independent but specialized global campaign on behalf of Atiku Abubakar GCON, Wazirin Adamawa ahead of the 2019 presidential elections.

Addressing a team of select media organizations , CEO of Inabali and Nigeria’s topmost Crisis Communication Expert, Phrank Shaibu, flanked by notable media strategists, Danladi Ndayebo, Mike Achimugu, Felix Ofou and Dotun Shodunke, told newsman that the time had come for Nigerians to know the ‘real’ Atiku, taste-first hand, the leadership qualities embodied by the former Vice-President, qualities that saw him grow into a remarkable entrepreneur, father, husband, Africa’s most powerful Vice-President, and an astute politician.

“The Wazirin Adamawa has not just spent time seeking the highest office in the land. The difference between him and others in the pack , including but not limited to the incumbent is that Atiku has spent all of this time updating his knowledge base and upgrading his skill set. He understands the economic trends, he knows about security issues, he has been a part of the solution process in the educational sector, he speaks the language of the streets, and he understands the pains of unemployment as well as the gains of agriculture as a serious earner of direct foreign exchange. Why do you think he is one of the biggest employers of labour in Africa?”

The Inabali Media boss also stated that Atiku Abubakar is a hero in Nigeria given the role he played in maintaining Nigeria’s democratic status quo. Hear him, “Atiku almost singlehandedly fought against a certain third term agenda in this country.”
“We MUST realize that the presidency of a great nation like Nigeria is too valuable and serious a position to be left to trial and error. We cannot afford to celebrate mediocrity in the name of politics. We need leaders who are very prepared for the job. Atiku is one of the very few with requisite knowledge and skill to lead Nigeria”
.
Highlight of the event was the unveiling of a serialized advert for Atiku Care Foundation tagged “THE ICON -IN 60 SECONDS”, the serial which takes viewers through the journey of a poor orphan to a helper of multitudes , from little beginnings to successful existence, and how the power of giving, rather than stealing, has uplifted hundreds of thousands of citizens will be launched on CNN on Monday .

The social media edition of the serial was also officially launched today and is already trending on major platforms across Nigeria.
Inabali Media is a leading media strategy firm and their clients include many top governors, politicians, captains of industry, as well as some foreign firms.

Newpride:
PDP is like ebola. The party that ruined this country for 16 good years before they handed to another destructive party APC.

The foundation, genesis and source of all the problems facing this country today was bn laid by PDP. Just name any problem ..

I expect Nigerians to be wiser by now to know the diff btwn 6 and half a dozen. But for where, some people because of vest, cap, maggi, 2 rubbers of rice, 5k and 5 yards of afflicted Ankara will still support either PDP OR APC

Wao I love your youthful exuberance display now I can bet it that this boy can't be less than 22 years old. Blawdy kid.....like Niferia was created in 1999. Go and read your Social Studies book

I love this bold move by the Lawmakers tell that Dullard it is not business as usual

This is commendable!

Firefire:
It will not be well with Buhary & his gangs of rogues called supporters.

Amen and in addition, may they all be visited with evil for being insensitive.

Lipscomb:
Stupid party they stand with PDP not even for the betterment of Nigeria's.

All your game plans together with your co-travelers are known to us and the more reason we careless about your ranting. PDP has come to stay and alive while APC is crumbling, don't get caught rigging for Buhari or APC in 2019 because you may never survive it. I understand your fears for PDP too but can also decode your pretense when indeed you are living under fear.

TonyeBarcanista:
Please, thats not the new logo of PDP media...

the PDP National New Media Group, which I am a member is an independent group of PDP media influencers. It is however not an unit or organ of PDP or its Media/Publicity Directorate

That's the logo bro, it will be unveiled soon. Keep it under wraps and watch it soon. I belong to the media group too

HungerBAD:
The Observers are watching.

You better make up your mind now and stop observing. PDP has come to stay.

There is no thinking about it that the People Democratic Party (PDP) has come to stay with the internal workings and restrategizing from within the party sending a strong signal to the rudderless, ruling party, APC. I am too sure that by the time campaign starts proper, APC would have been half-dead by December, 2018!

Behold the new seal of a new dawn for the PDP Media Arm.

This is very serious. Definitely, Buhari is desperate to come back and that is where he wil meet his waterloo

I saw this coming I knew they won't listen to voice of reason.
